Bud Spencer and Terence Hill certainly have better, but also worse movies. I'm for the Hippopotamus is a better average with a few memorable scenes, of which I personally most like the unconventional final fight, which is not a group fight, but rather a one-on-one fight - and that one is Bud Spencer.

A spoof that would have done better to focus on just one story line (ideally the quest for the Treasure of Kings, as The Hollow Needle is very well done), drop the others from the story, and most importantly, make it at least half an hour shorter. Unlike the rest of the audience I didn't mind Lupin's performance, Eva Green and Kristin Scott Thomas were also nice to see and the direction was quite effective, but it just couldn't save everything. Mainly the extremely drawn out ending almost killed me. Yes, the books are rubbish in their own way too, but at least they know it.

Scrat's scenes from Ice Age 5 edited into one short, with a different ending that makes fun of, for instance, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Unlike the fifth Ice Age, it was good fun.

More annoying than funny... It is very strange to see on the one hand wacky characters doing wacky things, squirming, jumping and screaming strangely, and on the other hand a traditional story about family values. I didn't really care about either, the asteroid plot didn't even seem to matter, and especially when I thought of the recent Croods, who presented almost the same theme in a much more entertaining way, I felt sad. I give points only for Scrat, for maniacal Buck and for few nice jokes.___P.S. If you have a DVD and you're only interested in Scrat's shenanigans, play the 15-minute short: Scrat: Spaced Out, which is basically all of Scrat's scenes edited together and given a different ending.

It starts sympathetically, but it doesn't last long. Jaromír Hanzlík probably won't put this villain in a frame, but his fans might not curse him, because they most likely won't even recognize him, and also the main young heroes (although likable) are kind of bland. Only Lukáš Vaculík, Jitka Ježková and Táňa Pauhofová act somewhat interestingly. The idea of weapons vs. knowledge was good, but it probably needed to add more humor.

Nothing to write home about. It's not just the lack of Terence Hill next to Bud Spencer, because he could do without him when he had the opportunity (e.g. the great Buddy Goes West or Charleston). It's just a lousy comedy. But the opening scene with the selling of the vacuum cleaner was good.

Half and half, because some not so well played songs (“The Godfather", “The Simpsons") or sung songs (“The Nightmare Before Christmas" - musically great, the singing too affected) spoil the good ones (all Williams', especially “Somewhere In My Memory" and “Harry Potter", Goldsmith's “Gremlins" and Silvestri's “Polar Express"). Not to mention the completely unnecessary cotton candy in the form of popular Christmas songs that are definitely not cinematic in the true sense of the word (“Let It Snow" from Die Hard 2). And thirdly, I have to take a dig at most of the orchestra members who seemed to be not really enjoying it and wanted extra money for smiling, which they didn't get.

Really good Holmes - Jeremy Brett may look like a typical ascetic bore, but he behaves in a completely different way - he is agile, loud, full of energy and the contrast between his appearance and character gives him a lot of pizzazz. Watson (whose representative reminds me of Luděk Munzar) is more of an observer in this case, but even so, it can be guessed that both of them will do well.

I feel that (although there are many to choose from) McB is Clint Eastwood's best role. A dramatic role, definitely. He gave a tremendous performance, thanks to which the viewer does not know what to think of his character from the beginning to the end. Is he a lying manipulator? Or a charming wounded soldier giving out grateful smiles and plagued by a kind of war trauma? Or are things completely different? Thanks to all the similarly unpredictable women, the atmosphere in that cut-off house gets thicker and thicker and anything can happen. Don't seek to know more about the plot than necessary and let yourself be surprised. There is a lot to come.

"Who is Dirty Harry?" A straightforward classic action film, nothing more, nothing less. In the original version with subtitles, but much more likable and without the atmosphere of a cheap B-movie, which our dubbing attributes to it and with which I (unfortunately) remembered. There are many memorable scenes in the film (the Moscow opening!) and Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Belushi complement each other perfectly. The bloody dynamic action performed by Walter Hill cannot be faulted at all.
